mutten

Mutten is a village located in the municipality of S غtein in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It is situated in the Oberhalbstein (or Surses) valley at an elevation of approximately 1,470 meters (4,820 feet) above sea level. The village is nestled in a picturesque alpine setting, surrounded by mountains and forests.

Historically, Mutten has been a predominantly agricultural community. Like many remote alpine villages, it has experienced a decline in population over the decades, with younger generations often seeking opportunities in larger towns and cities. However, tourism has become an increasingly important economic factor, attracting visitors interested in hiking, skiing, and the natural beauty of the region.

Access to Mutten is primarily by road, with a well-maintained route leading from the main valley. The village offers basic amenities, and its tranquility makes it an appealing destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The surrounding landscape provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation during both summer and winter months, including cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter, and hiking and mountain biking in summer. The local culture reflects the traditions of the Rhaeto-Romance speaking region of Graubünden.
